I do not want another baby.

Repeat two dozen times daily until convinced.

Ok, so Pooky and Puggle are the cutest things in the universe. They skip about holding hands and declaring "We love each other and we love Daddy and we love you, Mummy, you are beautiful." (Well Pook does. Puggle just nods and blows kisses) but I wouldn't want to push my luck really. The third would probably be some kind of Sunny-D crazed psychopath. And besides, if I had to go to mother and toddler group any longer I think I'd go on a machine gun rampage.

Anyway, yesterday Pooky was reading a book with kids in it who slept in bunk beds. He decided that he wanted to sleep in a bunk bed with Puggle.

"Mummy we want to sleep in a bunk bed. Can we have a bunk bed and I sleep on the top and Puggle sleep on the bottom, please Mummy. Why we not have a bunk bed? We want a bunk bed. " This went on for about twenty minutes.

Puggle backed him up by pointing at the book and crying "Bed! Bed!"

I explained to them that they each had a bed of their own and it wasn't really necessary. I said that kids only had to sleep in bunk beds if they had another brother or sister.

At which point they turned up their little angelic faces, focused their huge dark rockpools of eyes on mine, fluttered their eyelashes and pouted.

NO, NO and THRICE NO. Sorry guys, but the answer is a big NO SODDING WAY.



But they are really, really cute.........
